[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1041983, member: 52437"] She is not crazy recoil sensitive. My 3006 thumps her and she said it was more how loud and the muzzle blast that caused her to flinch than it was the thump on her shoulder. I'm not trying to build her an ultralight rifle BUT her rifle at 9lbs now is about as max I'd want to go for her when she's shooting offhand...this past year she stalked a deer...got to about 45 yards from it before she saw it. Went to shoot and had to get down on a knee to stabilize the rifle. She got the buck but did say it was somewhat tough keeping the rifle on the deer but it wasn't too bad. This is why I'm trying to keep max weight under 9lbs with scope and bases/rings. She is not a new shooter. Been shooting all her life but the 243 is the biggest she routinely shoots. She wanted to step up to a bit more horsepower without going crazy on recoil which is the reasoning for the 260 or 7mm08. The 260 with 120s or the 7-08 with 140s I'd think would be a good deal less than my 3006 but I've never shot either so don't know [/QUOTE]
